Mycobacterium celatum pulmonary infection.
Mycobacterium celatum is a nonphotochromogenic mycobacterial species, phenotypically similar to M. avium and M. xenopi, described for the first time less than a decade ago.1 Several reports exist in the literature establishing this organism as a convincing pathogen among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seropositive patients.2-9 However, there is little evidence of its pathogenicity among ind...
متن کاملErgothioneine Maintains Redox and Bioenergetic Homeostasis Essential for Drug Susceptibility and Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The mechanisms by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) maintains metabolic equilibrium to survive during infection and upon exposure to antimycobacterial drugs are poorly characterized. Ergothioneine (EGT) and mycothiol (MSH) are the major redox buffers present in Mtb, but the contribution of EGT to Mtb redox homeostasis and virulence remains unknown. We report that Mtb WhiB3, a 4Fe-4S redox ...

متن کاملEvaluation Drug Susceptibility of Clinical Isolates of Mycobacterium Simiea Using REMA Plate Method in Mashhad
Introduction: Non-tuberculous species of Mycobacterium are a large group of Mycobacterium and are widely distributed throughout the world. Increased isolation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria from patients with mycobacteria infections in Iranian laboratories was associated with erroneous and unnecessary drug treatment, so that in some cases isolated strains considered as drug resistant strains. ...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Mycobacterium malmoense to antibacterial drugs and drug combinations.
Mycobacterium malmoense is an opportunistic pathogen with increasingly recognized clinical importance. It is mainly isolated in northern Europe and Great Britain, most often from patients with pulmonary infections. Conventional therapy of M. malmoense infections with antituberculosis drugs is often of limited value, and there is thus a need for improved drug regimens. The potential efficacies o...
